driverit
Driverit (singular driveri) are software components in Finnish computing that allow the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. They implement the interface through which the OS requests from and receives data from hardware such as graphics cards, network adapters, storage controllers, printers, and USB devices. A driver translates generic OS operations into device-specific commands, manages device resources, handles interrupts, and enforces safety and isolation where possible. Without proper driverit, hardware may be present but non-functional or unstable.
Driverit can operate in different privilege levels: kernel-mode drivers run with full access to the system
Drivers are updated to fix bugs, improve performance, add support for new hardware, or enable security patches.
